New ultra-compact radar level sensor makes level monitoring of IBC inventory easy

When it comes to checking stocks in large silos and containers, radar measurement has long been the leading technology. But what about mobile containers like IBCs? VEGA has an impressive solution for this area of application: VEGAPULS Air. Thanks to radar technology, the miniature sensor delivers precise measured values and can be installed quickly and flexibly, as demonstrated by its use in a paper mill.

Precise radar measurement technology for fast processes

In the production of corrugated base paper and other paper formats, hydraulic oils are kept ready in small dosing containers. The levels inside are continuously monitored by the VEGAPULS radar sensor, which, compared to the huge paper machines, is only a small cog in the overall process, but nevertheless is extremely important. In this function, VEGAPULS delivers the data perfectly.

Interconnected solutions

Online tools

To ensure that production facilities are competitive today and stay competitive tomorrow, process cycles have to be optimised and costs reduced – without compromising quality. With intelligent networking and unique services, VEGA makes processes noticeably more efficient and reliable throughout the entire value-added chain.

Wireless communication provides better accessibility: Simply via VEGA Tools app – on any available smartphone or tablet.

Wireless adjustment

With Bluetooth, VEGA is looking far into the future. But already today, radio technology is making processes more and more flexible. Wireless communication provides better accessibility: in clean rooms, in harsh industrial environments and in hazardous areas. It allows parameterisation, display and diagnostics from a distance of up to 50 metres, thus saving time and avoiding dangers. Simply via VEGA Tools app – on any available smartphone or tablet.
